jKey
Read full descriptionHide full description
Keys too small to hit? jKey replaces the tiny QWERTY grid with a few giant, high-contrast buttons. Tap a group, then your letter—or tap groups only and let jKey guess the word. Built for low vision, tremor and one-handed typing. Free to try; one-time Pro unlock; no subscription. HOW IT WORKS • The alphabet is split into five big groups. Tap a group and its letters open up, large and easy to hit. Tap your letter and you're back. • Cluster Only Mode skips choosing letters altogether: tap one group per letter and jKey offers the words that fit. Tap the one you meant. • The suggestion bar finishes the word you're typing and predicts the next one, and gets better at the word pairs you use. EASY TO SEE, EASY TO HIT • Four high-contrast themes, including yellow on black and black on yellow • Four text sizes, from Small to Extra Large • Big keys that suit tremor, limited dexterity and one-handed typing MADE FOR VOICEOVER • Every key is clearly labelled • Choose how keys respond: Standard, Touch Typing, or Direct Touch, where a single tap types • A guided, VoiceOver-friendly setup turns jKey on and lets you practice right in the app SAVE TYPING • Snippets type your name, email address or a common reply in one tap • My Words teaches jKey names and words it should suggest • Numbers, symbols and your favorite emoji are one tap away PRIVATE BY DESIGN Word suggestions come from a model built into the keyboard. Nothing you type leaves your iPhone or iPad, and there's no cloud or AI service involved. Full Access is optional: jKey only needs it for the Copy and Paste snippet commands. FREE AND PRO Everything you need to type is free, forever: both typing modes, word suggestions, My Words, every VoiceOver option, every high-contrast theme and every text size. Free includes 3 snippet categories of 3 snippets and 3 emoji groups. jKey Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. It adds up to 6 snippet categories of 6 snippets, up to 6 emoji groups, custom keyboard colors, and Copy and Paste snippet commands. Pro works with Family Sharing, so one purchase covers your family. If you bought jKey before it became free, Pro is already yours. Requires iOS 18.2 or later. English only.

Email Wizard — The Intelligent SMTP Setup Tool. Auto-detects the fastest, most secure SMTP settings in seconds. Email Wizard takes the frustration out of configuring outgoing mail (SMTP). Whether you use iCloud, Outlook, Yahoo, custom domains, or local providers, Email Wizard automatically detects the correct settings, tests your server, verifies your credentials, and confirms everything by sending a real test email. No guesswork. No complicated instructions. No trial and error. Just clean, reliable configuration every time. Why Email Wizard Exists Setting up SMTP is notoriously confusing. Different providers require different ports, authentication types, TLS versions, and even app-specific passwords. For non-technical users this is overwhelming, and for technical users it is simply time-consuming. Email Wizard solves all of this automatically. It runs a full detection engine that tests connection modes, tries secure TLS versions (from TLS 1.0 up to TLS 1.3), negotiates STARTTLS correctly, authenticates the account, and confirms your configuration with a working test email. This app does in seconds what normally requires several minutes of manual configuration and trial-and-error testing. Key Features Automatic SMTP Detection Email Wizard intelligently tests your server using all secure combinations until it finds a working configuration. Supports All Major Providers iCloud, Outlook, Hotmail, Live, MSN, Yahoo, Ymail, Rocketmail, custom domains, local ISPs, and work accounts. App-Specific Password Assistant For providers that require special passwords (Apple, Outlook, Yahoo), Email Wizard links you directly to the correct page to generate one. Instant Error Feedback Incorrect passwords or invalid server details are detected immediately. Test Email Confirmation A real test email is sent to confirm that your settings are correct. It includes full connection details such as TLS version, port, mode, device platform, and timestamp. No user data are transferred to 3 party! Your data are YOURS! Reset Function Quickly start over and test new accounts at any time. Designed for Professionals and Everyday Users Fast, clear, reliable SMTP setup for all levels. Advanced Technical Design Email Wizard uses a complete SMTP communication sequence including greeting validation, EHLO negotiation, STARTTLS testing, TLS handshake verification, authentication challenge–response, and timed read protection. The app handles fallback logic and clean disconnects, ensuring stable and predictable configuration testing. Who Is It For? • Anyone who wants easy, reliable outgoing mail setup • Home users • Professionals managing their own domains • Developers testing server configurations • Anyone troubleshooting email issues If you have ever struggled with SMTP settings, Email Wizard is the solution. Privacy Email Wizard communicates directly with your email provider. Nothing passes through external servers. No analytics, no tracking, no ads, and no data collection. Your credentials remain on your device and are used only for testing your connection. Email Wizard — Because Email Setup Should Be Easy A simple, intelligent tool that turns complex SMTP configuration into a smooth, reliable process.
